He's 37-26 in his past 5 seasons (years 4-8 of his program, or second recruiting cycle). That's basically 7.5-4.5 each season, which is pretty good. There's still some upside left in the tank if Stoops can find a way to get better QB play.

They've done a great job building D and running game but have never had a really dynamic QB to take it to the next level and really push Florida and Georgia.

It’s going to be interesting. Obviously the Big12 owns the rights to Texas and Oklahoma until 2025. Everyone assumes this is the last season of Big12 play. But why would the renaming 8 agree to let go of their rights until then? They would have to have new homes before voting dissolving they Big12, and new conferences would have to have their media contracts renegotiated to pay them more than the Big12 was.

It wouldn’t shock me at all of this is the final Big12 season. But the other conferences/media contracts would have to give the remaining 8(or at least 6) a reason to dissolve the Big12.

Gonna have to disagree with you there champ.

Bowlsby is going to be flipping burgers in the biggest Entertainment McDonalds in Orlando after Mickey is done with him.

Effectively kills the Big 12 so OU and UT have no exit fees and pulls the rest that can't get new homes into the AAC, which they control 100% of instead of 50% like the Big 12, and positions them as the new 5th best conference. That is some Game of Thrones shit.

Maybe I’m too harsh lol…

I’m not sure you are reading this one correctly. ESPN was colluding to have the B12 dismantled. That’s kind of a big deal. They’re going to owe big time

I have little doubt this actually happened. I have much doubt that the Big 12 could successfully prove it in court.

If they didn't have evidence, they would have not sent a cease and deist letter.

The Big 12 clearly has evidence. This is a potentional breach of contract and tortious interference with a business relationship tort case.
